  • Leigh Centurions head coach John Duffy says his club are "Super League ready" after winning the race to replace Toronto Wolfpack in next year's English rugby league top-flight. Leigh beat off competition from Toulouse Olympique, London Broncos, Bradford Bulls, Featherstone Rovers and York City Knights to fill the 12th slot left vacant following the rejection of Toronto's bid to re-join the competition last month. The Canadian side were involved in their maiden Super League season until July, when they withdrew, citing financial problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Super League, the northern hemisphere's elite club competition in the 13-a-side code, will next season comprise 11 English teams and France's Catalans Dragons. "We are Super League ready," Duffy told Britain's PA news agency. "We've got a stadium which is hosting World Cup games, a chairman who is putting in the money, and we've been there and done it. "I think it's exciting more than daunting. We are straight in with getting up to speed, and our goal is to give it a good go and make sure we stay in Super League." Leigh were the unanimous choice of an independent seven-strong panel led by Lord Jonathan Caine. "Each of the six applicants was judged strictly but fairly against the agreed criteria. All were of high quality and I would like to pay tribute to the clubs for that," said Lord Caine. Leigh have not played in Super League since they were relegated in 2017, but had won all four of their games in this year's curtailed Championship campaign. Toulouse, the Championship leaders when the coronavirus pandemic forced the season's abandonment, had been bidding to join Catalans Dragons as a French club in the top flight. Super League's 2021 campaign will begin on March 11. jw/gj
